Pulpit Privilege.

To the Editor of the Indiana ciis Journal:
In your Mondays issue appears a sermon on
the Sixth Commandment, delivered the day be-
fore from leading church pulpit Of this city. It
is not stated that the sermon was intended for
any particular class, delivered to any partcu-
lar class alone, and presume the listening audi
ence was composed Of all ages. That it was
made up of men and women, young gentlemen
and young ladies, and children. Now
a part of the sermon strikes me as
being sufficiently indicate and immodest to en-
title it to place alongside Of what the gentle
men of the cloth SO frequently condemn in the
newspapers. Mr.. Editor. won't you please ex-
plain to the satisfaction of pure minded people,
especially children, the difference between a
newspaper account of the crime OF infantcide
and disgusting wholesale statement Of the un
clean subject from pulpit And why should a
pulpit that condemns the reading of Sunday pa
pers take advantage of its opportunity to pour
into the of civilized people stuff never found
in the columns of tho Sunday Journal3
However, if the good people of that church do
not choose to protest, l presume an outsider
ought not complain But if the Sixth Com
maudment warranted such freedom of expires
sion, what may be expected when the Seventh

turn was taken by the Senate. this morning when

house, 'to prohibit the sale of Intoxicating

eating liquors in this State which had not yet
been announced. Upon the call of the vote on
submission. three members who had voted
against submission changed their votes to yea,
which gave the patrons of submission two
thirds majority. The submission will be voted
on liz November, 1885, the next general election.
The lower honse passed the resolution two
weeks ago. The bill prohibiting the sale of
liquors and drinks then laid on the table.
